India and China Achieve 75% Military Disengagement Along LAC

External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar confirms progress but highlights ongoing challenges, including increased militarization and economic imbalances.

External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar announced that 75% of the military disengagement issues along the Line of Actual Control (LAC) with China have been resolved.
Despite progress, Jaishankar emphasized the continued challenge of increased militarization at the border and the impact on overall bilateral relations.
Chinese Foreign Ministry confirmed that troops have disengaged from four key areas in Eastern Ladakh, including the Galwan Valley, and described the border situation as stable.
National Security Advisor Ajit Doval and Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi met in Russia, agreeing to work urgently towards complete disengagement in remaining friction points.
Economic ties between India and China remain strained, with Jaishankar describing the relationship as 'unfair and imbalanced,' and calling for better market access for Indian goods in China.
